correct me if I am wrong but a Dc2 Aus spec ran a 15.1 for the 400. Only the jap spec which made a little more power ran 14.9-15.0. Not too sure what an auto GTST will run the 400 in...Manuals run it in the mid to low 14's....Would be a close one that is if both are 100% stock

The DC2R would pwn it through the hills.

Yes I agree, One thing the Hondas got right was the whole handling and response package. Easily capable of annoying big dollar euro cars through a winding road

well the DC2 0 - 100 was recorded at 6.7sec

thats pretty awsome for a Non turbo 4cyl.......

the only problem with them is there is no feeling of torque watsoever...

the constant reving & the comparison of the noise its making per its velocity.......it feels like a worn clutch

And being front wheel drive isnt necessarily in their favour either, is it?

yes

apparently Front engine...Front wheel drive is actually more superior compared to the Front engine rear wheel drive in conditions with snow, mud, gravel and wet tarmac.

Mmmm...That must be the jap spec times ( 147 kw as opposed to Aus spec 141 kw- Jap spec had better rubber too ) as I am pretty sure most testers in the day achieved 0-100 in 7 and a 400 mtrs in 15.1...But you are right,very respectable numbers for an NA 1.8 front wheel drive

And Gtr's are useless for traction in any of the above conditions too LOL!!!!

and so is the Bugatti VEYRON are also usless for traction in any of the above conditions too LOL!!!!

the Title was talking about an AUTO GTS-T and an Integra Type-R

Im for the r33 simply cos the combo of torque and an auto gearbox is full proof for drag racing while the teg would require careful rev and clutch control for a proper launch.

on another note, fabulous cars though! both of them

I'll depends on the driver, if the driver for the Type-R is skilled in launch & gear changes then Type-R probably tiny bit faster. But if you talking about average day people then auto GTS-T will probably own, as said above auto boxes are easy to do drags with & you get perfect shift everytime.

The gtst for sure, if 33 has a shift kit the gtst by a lot more. When i was running 8 psi and my mate was running 11 psi i used to beat him every time our cars had almost the same mods except i had a shift kitted auto and he had a manual (all tests were performed on private roads...).

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
